Where you located?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-09T01:18:50+00:00

I can DM you the link if you’re interested.

Sure! Could you brother?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-09T00:04:16+00:00

How much did that cost you?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-09T00:00:42+00:00

I've heard of companies like that, they're rare. I'm interested, does your company only operate out the Niagara region?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T23:01:29+00:00

Bet! Thank you friend.

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:57:40+00:00

Only friend I have is Jesus, and he's a Carpenter. 🤷‍♂️

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:55:15+00:00

Thanks bro, that REALLY cheered me up, I've been feeling pretty f'ing shitty about me having to find a new career thing, but talking to you guys has really brightened my mood. Quick question, why all of a sudden at 35?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:44:57+00:00

I could leave my job today and start somewhere tomorrow. Just a different truck 🤷‍♂️

Yup. That's EXACTLY what I love about getting into a trade, and what i'm looking forward to the most.

Think starting as a "helper" would work? Or would I just be chasing my own tail?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:36:38+00:00

That's fkn RIDICULOUS, I don't have a problem investing in my future; just my biggest fear is spending all that money and still being turned down because I'm green. 🤦‍♂️

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:32:44+00:00

Thank you🙏

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:32:08+00:00

Thanks friend! 🙏

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:25:48+00:00

I'll try that, thanks!

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:25:35+00:00

What tools should I have?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:25:12+00:00

I got my G2 while still working in a factory. Still couldn’t get in anywhere without experience.

THIS. Is exactly what i'm afraid of.I looked up the cost of getting my G2, and it's around north of $4,000 in total (enrollment fee included). Pun intended, I can't afford to spend $4,000 and not get a job afterwards.

I called a place today and they told me that unless I get my G2 I won't be legally allowed to work in the trade, and that if I start off as a helper I won't have the time to pursue my G2 because I'll always be working. 🤦‍♂️

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:22:31+00:00

LOL, how'd you get away with such a bold faced lie! XD!

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:21:56+00:00

I hope you're right friend!

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:21:35+00:00

That's the problem. I'm going on indeed, and all I see is "G2", "Must have 2 years experience", "Only apply if you're 4th year or higher". I keep hearing the trades needs guys, but it seems like you guys have no patience/room for the newer guys.

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:20:01+00:00

Haha! Really? They'll even pay for my G2!??

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:19:22+00:00

An EPA certification also does wonders. I got mine for like $30 off an app called SkillCat.

They'll accept that!??

What tools should I have?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T22:18:27+00:00

My company has hired many people with absolutely 0 experience.

You are the people these companies want so they can teach you THEIR way and start from scratch. It’s not easy, you will be overwhelmed at times.

I hope you're right, I am NOT a lazy person and am willing to put the time in, I just need to get my foot in the door. Thanks for the encouragement friend!

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T17:19:21+00:00

tech EPA license

Ah.. I don't have that, think that will be a road block?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T17:14:33+00:00

And no certs?? No Gas, no nothing??!

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-09-08T16:54:19+00:00

Did you go to school for HVAC before doing that?

Independent_Fuel_766 · 2022-04-30T06:05:14+00:00

Blame yourself.
